Athena Promachos Picture

The inspiration for this work is shown in the photograph located here -> [link]

Long about 1981 or so, I watched a little movie heavily based in Greek Mythology, and formed an instant attraction for a goddess that only had one or two lines in the whole movie. (Not sure if it was the goddess or the actress that portrayed her, but I'm getting off topic.) The movie was the original Clash of the Titans, and it made a big impression on me, though it seems rather campy these days. (And it would be difficult for me to decide between the two Zeus's - Sir Laurence Olivier or Liam Neeson.)

Anyway, this is my imagining of Athena. The outfit, which I was extremely fortunate enough to test for the creator, is coming soon.
